Acting principal role

Send employee forms in good time

It is recommended that you send any required forms to the employee with their appointment letter, to ensure they are paid correctly on their first pay day. Include a covering letter that explains what to complete, and provide a timeframe for them to return the forms.

Read through the following checklist to determine which forms to send.

See the Payroll calendar to determine the cut-off date for instructions in their first pay period.

Print a copy of the NOVO1t and obtain the principal's and board representative's signature. It is recommended that you file the signed form in the employee's file.

Send the completed NOVO1t to the Novopay Service Centre.

Check the fortnightly Transaction/SUE reports to ensure they are added correctly. See Manage tickets.

Complete a NOVO5 form for the new principal to request access to the Novopay Service. This must be signed by a board representative. Post the signed original to the Novopay Service Centre. See Request access to Novopay Service.

If you have more than one NOVO form to send to the Novopay Service Centre for this employee, attach each form to a separate email. See Sending forms.
